I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.

Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

Books in general are great, but I'm a fiction lover, and I will continue to do it.

I don't very often read novels.

There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.

Also, most people read fiction as an escape - and I wonder whether my books aren't a bit too grounded in reality to reach the widest possible audience.

One of the fantastic things about books, fiction or non-fiction, is the way they give you a chance to look into different lives.

I don't read fiction at all.
